It's The Italian Job so obviously, I head to Kent in England for the race of a lifetime. But first I have to get ready. So, it's the Fiorano test track in Italy where I spend a while not getting ready at all.

I try the gym but it's all rubbish so instead, I decide to compare Ferrari's 458 Italia and the limited edition 599 GTO. On paper, that doesn't seem fair. But in reality....

Next stop is the infamous Imola race circuit. The Stig joins me to get the most out of the Porsche GT3 and its stripped out cousin the GT3 RS. Also present are the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera and the jaw-dropping Mercedes SLS AMG with its gullwing doors.

My face gets a workout too, thanks to an Ariel Atom. With a V8 engine.

Then, for some reason, The Stig does something terrible to the face of Rubens Barrichello.

My final Italian shake-down comes from the £1.3 million, Nurburgring lap record holder - the Zonda R with its 750 horsepower V12 and slick tyres.

Finally, I'm ready. So it's back to England for my first ever Classic Touring Car Race...I don't know the car, I don't know the circuit and I'm up against 20 experienced rivals...What could possibly go wrong?

Disc 2:

The making of The Italian Job is revealed. Yes, we lift the lid - and blow the doors off - all the behind the scenes action. A team of fifteen on the road for ten days. Blistering Italian sun, mechanical problems and technical headaches plus tricks of the trade...It's all here is an exclusive tell-all video diary.

Then of course, everything else explodes.

Over the past 15 years I've destroyed some hateful cars in some ingenious ways. Now, for the first time ever, the best five of those destructions - as voted for by you - are brought together on this second disc.

sold as seen stuff from clarkson, pretty good in some places, ( the ferrari bits), bit boring in others. What did annoy me was his comments on the lambo lp570-4 superleggera, comparing it to the 458 italia. the lp570 is using technology on a engine 8 odd years old with updates on ecu etc, where as the 458 is using brand new and f1 backed technology, so you cannot really compare them. Both brillant cars, different schools! Still the lambo showed that ugly merc sls how to corner ! ( see top gear b4 xmas did we? ) Extras disc was good though

5As good as always

If you're a fan of Top Gear and Mr Clarkson you will undoubtedly love this DVD. Full of all the current cars of the time and driven to show their respective performances. All mixed in with Mr Clarksons famous one-liners and his first ever motorsport experience. A great addition to the collection that grows year on year...
